Replacing AfD means instead of a decision being located in a central spot
where it is open and accountable, you will have decisions being made by one
or two people. You will then end up with hellacious disputes at Undeletion
and accusations of Admins acting in bad faith.
While there may be grounds for expanding the Criteria for Speedy deletion,
there are always going to be cases where more careful consideration is
required.

Never is going too far but it should very much be an option of last
resort. There are a number of reasons why it is a bad idea:
1.Shortage of admin manpower. Remeber those stats that came out last
month? We have maybe 200 admins reasonably active in an admin capacity
If everyone wants something deleted, an admin is going to delete it
anyway. Not putting the article through AfD first *reduces* the
manpower required by everyone, and doesn't affect the manpower
required by admins.
2. Adminship is meant to be no big deal. I would
prefer it if people
stoped trying to make it so
Adding a new criterion for speedy deletion doesn't make adminship a big
deal.
3.The constantly riseing standards at WP:RFA are
not going to be
helped by increaseing admin responcibilities/powers.
Again, I don't understand this. The new criteria for deletion should
still be cut and dry.
4.It appears that we may be getting more wheel
wars. Increaseing the
number of subjective descissions will not help that.

Yes, you've confused what I've said. I think we should add more
*objective* criteria to the speedy deletion candidates, not
*subjective* ones. Turning off AfD for a while would cause that to
happen.
